Abstract:Quantum computing provides a way to achieve leapfrog development of computing power in the future, and has become the frontier technology field of key layout of major scientific and technological powers in the world. Taking the invention patent applications, authorizations and PCT patent application documents in the PatSnap patent database as the data source, this paper investigates the development trend of quantum computing comprehensively in China and the United States from the two dimensions of time and technical field, and digs out the typical patent holders from the point of view and high-value patents. Quantum computing technology in the United States started early and is currently in a period of rapid development, and has moved from academic research to industrialization. However, although the development momentum of quantum computing in China is very strong, patentees are mainly concentrated in universities and research institutes, and there are few core patents. According to the research results, this paper proposes that we should strengthen the top-level design of quantum computing at the national level, strengthen basic research and core technology research, cultivate and cultivate a group of high-level talents, and promote the deep integration of production, education and research.
